In 1938 John Miller himself asked Lord Lovat of the clan Fraser if he could use their tartan design, and since that day, Harringtons have carried the famous lining. Length cut to past the knee for fuller coverage from weather, with added leg straps to ensure the body stays in place Worn with a pair of stonewash jeans and rounded off with a pair of Ikon Original shoes, no look is complete without one of these stylish items. Finished with a heavy weight 8oz Sylkoil wax outer, giving it a tough layer of protection against the elements while simultaneously keeping you warm

Combined with stonewash denim or a pair of 501s, the Harrington looked effortlessly cool, and soon became a popular choice for not just mods, but also skinheads and punks. When legends of the music and mod scene such as Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton and the Modfather himself Paul Weller were seen wearing one, the status of the Harrington in mod folklore was cemented. It was in the mid-1950s that the Harrington hit the mainstream, and there are two people who were huge influences on its way there. Sit-down corduroy collar with a studded throat strap which can be turned up and fastened to keep out wind and rain Into the 70s, and as the mod culture slowed down slightly, the Harrington remained popular as a stylish choice for any setting. Then came the mod revival following the birth of 2-tone records in 1979 and the emergence of bands such as The Specials and Madness on the music scene. The Harrington had been worn for around 30 years before it became a mod classic. So where did this iconic piece of clothing come from?

The Barbour Border Wax Jacket

The Harrington was now well known as something worn by the leading figures in entertainment, but it still was only known as the golfer. In the 60s, as mods moved from sharp suits to a more casual look, the Harrington became a key component, often being worn with a Fred Perry or Ben Sherman polo shirt underneath, turned up jeans and a pair of Doc Martens , monkey boots.or Desert Boots

As golfers were making their swings, the coat began to get in the way. So, like all great inventions, necessity paved the way to making something great. The need for more flexibility led to what was then called the G9 being trimmed down so it only reached the waist. From the punks in the 1970s to the Britpop bands in the 90s, the Harrington has been synonymous with musicians and film stars since the days of James Dean playing the Rebel. Damon Albarn of Blur was often seen wearing a Harrington, as were the Gallagher brothers.
